Hi all. Very pleased to say looks like production of the Dartmoor Dragon retort should start soon. Will keep this page updated when we have final pricing. 

Yes please

I should add that these are going to be sold through the Carbon Compost Company who already make the renown Exeter Retort. 

 

Very excited about it all to be honest 😀

There wont be anything on their site yet. We are just finalising the design for production. What I am able to make with my very limited metal working  skills and what their workshop can do are very different things and some improvements can be made which were not options for me. Give it a few months and hopefully we can show the final version.

I'm glad you took the plunge and hope things go well. I'd never heard of them till @agg221 mentioned them.

Had a great day with Geoff and Robin of Exeter Charcoal today for the first test run of the new version of the retort. It's now far more solid and airtight than my prototype and did its first burn without a hitch.

 

Its all looking good for production to start soon and expect to be out with it at some shows next year 😀

We have a price.

They will be £3900 for the basic version as above.

We are working on some barrel handling accessories which should be available in due course

Dunno but it looks like it uses propane as a support fuel
